Humans have the ability to exert an influence on the world, but there are many things that they have no power over. For example, there may be very little that a person can do to alter the way other people think. This inability to change some aspects of life can leave people feeling frustrated and full of self pity. The individual may have used to justification that life is not fair to justify their alcohol or drug abuse. Trying to fight against the way things are is a waste of energy and it can only ever lead to suffering. People find happiness by just accepting and working with those things that they cannot change.
